Well Zombie #2 died

Along with Andrea, but I think she had a good run and it was a good death. I'm surprised all of Rick's people made it through. The governor had an impressive fire superiority when the breach the prison. They just made the dumb mistake of going into the bowels. Still, it was a good strategy on Rick's part. He would have got torn apart if he'd tried a more overt defense.

Seeing the Governor gun down his own people was pretty wild. It's not often you see someone whose already nuts snap even further. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here with only two henchmen who are probably making contingency plans now.

And good old Carl. He's definitely turning into the little psychotic. I'm not buying his tough decisions mentality. He's a little governor. I just hope Rick has enough sense to take away that kid's gun before he starts shooting more people.

All in all a good season ending.

I was hoping it will resolve the prison vs town more, but that was unrealistic expectation on my part.

I can now openly state this without tags...

Kirkman said that the Governor story would carry over into season 4. The prison story took about 6 trade paperbacks overall so I can easily see them drawing it out a bit. I honestly love the character work they're doing, I say let them draw it out a bit!_________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

So it's raining zombies and Rick has a garden now. Discuss!

I was kind of surprised they killed that new kid off. I was just starting to like him, too. And what was up with the kid with glasses taking a shower and dying? Did he die from a cold or was he infected and didn't tell anyone?_________________

He tries to grow a gun plant? A good try but I honestly didn't think it would work and low and behold he seemed just as disappointed as I did._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

He probably planted the gun too deep. Maybe it needed more fertilizer? _________________

Perhaps! I dunno, he shouldn't have given up that easily, if he'd read up a little more he might have been a great pistol farmer. _________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

So who was feeding the zombies mice? The little girl who liked Nick? I have a bad feeling about her ("We're doomed!").

I really liked the awkward tension between Rick and his kid when Carl asked for his gun back. With the ending of the latest episode. I guess they're ready to rock and roll. But what's up with what's-her-name and Macon? Is she from Macon? She seems really hell bent on going there.

And poor piggies

So major spoilers...

Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers)

First off, I liked the mid-season finale. The Governor had a good end and I like how his last three episodes played out. They made poor use of their tank, but the Governor had a good gamble going on. I also like the deaths. Hershel went out good, and the Governor also had a good death. Not sure if Rick's baby is really dead or not, so I'm still waiting to see how that turns out.

Also on the pro side, I like the two kids showing up with pistols and gunning that one person down. Yes, with the current state of affairs, that's probably a pretty troubling thing. But from a combat perspective, that's a great move. Think about that person seeing those two little girls with pistols. You know they couldn't shoot. That person was toast.

Now for the negatives. Mostly Daryl. He hid behind a magic file cabinet which was blessed by some set wizard to block bullets. Then he picked up a rare breed of bullet proof zombie as an impromptu shield. There may have been a couple other major gaffs in the battle, but those are the two I remember.

However, upon reflecting on the episode, I realized the biggest issue of all was Rick. They planned on leaving the prison on the bus, right? So why not let the Governor and his people have the prison? No one would have died. Instead Rick decides to fight, the lose the prison, and lots of people die. Seems like Rick made the wrong call.

lol @magic Daryl

You can't blame Rick for what happened, although I think that if the decision was up to someone else things might have turned out differently. I think Rick and the Governor knew exactly how it was going to go down and everyone else just didn't realize it until it was too late to do anything else.

I liked Governor part 1 at first, but then after Governor part 2

we know that he has not been redeemed

, so it made the first part pointless to me. If that was the case then they didn't need two episodes for it.

I really didn't like what happened with

Judith. She was already a non character so if they killed her off it would be really cheap

That is the first time I really remember the show not showing something and then having people react to it. Were we supposed to think what Rick and Carl thought happened, or were we supposed to not really know? I couldn't tell._________________The absurd man thus catches sight of a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given, and beyond which all is collapse and nothingness.

Yeah, I'm not sure if she's really dead or they just think she's dead.

As for governor, I think he became evil-lite, so partial reformation

Like he said, he could have just attacked them with the tank. He messed up just as much as Rick did. If he wouldn't have offered a peaceful way out for Rick, they could have just murdered everyone from afar with that tank and not even bothered messing up the fence. With the Governor's people hanging back and laying fire support for the tank, there would have been no way for Rick's people to take the tank out. Plus Rick's people were all out in the open. Would have been easy pickings._________________

I'm finally getting around to watching this show. I watched Season 1 a couple of summers ago and really enjoyed it. I'll re-watch Season 1 and then move onto the others. I'll be avoiding this thread like the plague to avoid spoilers, but just thought I'd let you know._________________

Let me know what you think I enjoyed season 2 a lot and same with the first half of season 3, but the second half fell flat for me and I'm behind as heck on season 4. Just kind of lost interest._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Season two is the slowest with the most character development, but also the most of characters doing stupid things. Just a warning.

For me season four has been the best one yet. If you are still on the fence about continuing to watch this show I would say it's worth it stick around at least up till 4 part one and then decide if you want to quit._________________The absurd man thus catches sight of a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given, and beyond which all is collapse and nothingness.
